A buddy of mine (hank67) talked me into signing up here.

I know my car is not what you would consider pro-touring, once I get the motor back together I'll be looking to have a set of street wheels made so it will handle the turns again.

2000 Firehawk Formula Hardtop 6spd.
Old set up:

Wow, I have never seen a rocker take a chunk out of the head! Beautiful car otherwise.

looks like someone was too agressive with their CNC program. Who did your heads?

Nice Birds. I'd love to own a newer F-Body some day. But for now, I guess I'll stick to the old ones. :)
